Avionté Software vs. Crelate

Very good for applicant/candidate/job activity tracking. It could use improvement in the area of Customer Relationship Management. It does not have a robust CRM function, which would be very beneficial to have encompassed in the ATS system so everything is in one place.

Crelate Talent is well suited for applicant management. It also works functionally well with other job boards and websites such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc. Crelate Talent seems to be mainly used for a mid- to large-scale business rather than a small business, for an applicant tracking system, as the management features work best with an existing candidate pool.

• The Google Chrome integration allows to have total control over the communications and sends the registry to Compas immediately. Also allows sending Google mail directly from the Compas app.
• Allows to keep track of the whole work history and experience of each one of the employees, start dates, interviews, pay rates and termination reasons, as well as to send mass emails and text messages to employees.
• It's fully customizable if you need to add a specific feature their support and is responsive and allows the intended customization.
• It is a great reporting tool. You can track the performance and activities of your recruiters, make sure they are doing the pertinent contacts and follow-ups and complete their assigned tasks, also allows pulling reports on employees placed on assignment.

• Drag and Drop - easy to move candidates through the recruitment process.
• Intuitive- easy to learn and manage.
• Interfaces well with emailing and texting.
• Built in support for MS Word.
• Knowledgeable support.
• Supports telephone click-to-dial.
• Easy to cross reference contact records using "@" symbol - very nice feature.
• Easy to import resumes and contacts through multiple solutions.

• If candidates submit a cover letter, it is only accessible through the "docs" tab. Or if they are nominated to the Hiring Manager and then the attachments come through. Other than that, there is no easy way to tell if a candidate has submitted a cover letter other than manually opening each candidate profile up. It would be nice if Hiring Managers could see if there is a cover letter attachment in the pipeline overview.
• Emails aren't syncing properly from Gmail. I wish that once we sent a candidate a Gmail from Compass that all subsequent threads/ replies would be tracked in Compass so it would be all in on place.. easy to reference.
• You can't move applicants from pipeline to the nominated status. It would be nice if there was most flexibility between moving candidates from pipeline to pipeline and to the nominated status.

• Would love the option to add profile pictures

It works, but not sure that it's the best/we might try out alternatives first.

There isn't much training provided outside of internal training across our company. Also, if Avionté Software could review the way we're using the software, on a regular basis, and provide feedback and suggestions on how to improve the user experience, that would be very beneficial.

Usually the Crelate support is very responsive and quick to fix any problems that arise. I've personally seen emails of the threads where Crelate support was quick to resolve problems and act courteously while doing so. While I have never called their line, it seems that their phone support is also well experienced.

Avionté is more modern than PCR. I also know a lot of functions in PCR (that I didn't use) were more clunky than they are in Avionte. Avionté is also more suited for the account management and sales side of our business than PCR was, whereas PCR was more geared towards recruiters exclusively.

My two favorite systems are Crelate and Recruitee.

• From my experience, Crelate is the best full-service database because it allows you to track Business Development and candidate activity
• Recruitee is very effective as an applicant tracking system

• The application crashed for three business days last year.
• The movement is very easy so it is fast to send statements as long as no credit or revision.
• For the cost it gets all jobs done so that is positive.

Incentivized

• Can more easily organize our candidates and we have a lot of info at our fingertips - this translates to quicker processes which is positive
• We keep all our notes on Crelate - very useful for the whole team to see
• We have multiple team members scheduling so it really helps to see all the emails that have gone out, to ensure there's no overlap
